market and VC can do it better.

damn if they can do it better why haven’t they done so yet then?

as per usual then i fear.

can someone explain what’s going on with the whole abundance thing the libs are trying to sell btw like what sort of theorists/schools of thought are they drawing on and what are they even advocating for

missed those too, my first thought was ‘damn are we really this late to the dsa dating discourse?’

very normal thing to order

thinking of some tweet i saw maybe like two weeks ago about how chinese genshin’s worldbuilding is because everything is extremely bureaucratic and un-feudal

good catch actually, idk what’s censored but i should have added CSA. my bad.

i think what stands out the worst personally is just gaiman’s recurring disposition of being all ‘uwu sowwy for sexually assaulting you can we talk 🥺’

yeah, i mean if it makes you anxious then it clearly is worse for you! i don’t want to come off as minimising your struggles, just that examination methods should probably be more flexible in general.

i’m not sure that i agree that oral exams are inherently bad, i just think they need to be taken with the instructor having a spirit of charitability and recognising that students can’t remember every little detail. evidently this wasn’t the case with you but the typical exam paper format isn’t very good for neurodivergent students either in a very different way, like i’d always do awfully in exams by my standards so obviously i’d be more inclined to think that format is worse than oral.

dunno if anyone saw but noahpinion finally outed himself as the bloodthirsty ghoul he is on twt recently

it’s slightly cope to say that the iraqi army was incompetent imo

like it was probably about as good as the nva, coalition just had an enormous advantage in sensors tech. proto-digital army vs analog army

is this new jocat discourse leaking onto chapo.chat

classic crusher collins lol this coalition is such a meme

i fucking hated law school despite having a lot of formal education in history and philosophy and i barely passed it. anecdotally having an interest in humanities made me dislike studying law.

‘mogging’ and ‘mog’ are just inherently funny words in a phonetic sense tbh, like i get that its incel lingo but its really fucking funny.

“Liberal regimes fighting with the odds so heavily in their favour in material terms and the sense of ‘history being on their side’ have an impatient expectation of victory - call this the pressure of the philosophy of history. If you are truly convinced your victory is inevitable, resistance is, as the saying goes, futile. Opponents that engage in futile resistance, exacting a price from you, long after their defeat is inevitable, are treated as ‘mad dogs’ that demand their own destruction. Not just their defeat but their erasure and total destruction. Rather than encouraging liberal agents of history to raise themselves to great personal efforts and sacrifice, this philosophy of history, this sense of historic inevitability counsels the opposite. If your barbaric, cruel enemy does not understand that they must lose, if they want to go down in a meaningless suicidal blaze, there is no reason anyone on your side should needlessly expose themselves to risk. After all, that would deprive those citizen soldiers of the victorious future that is rightfully theirs. Instead, minimise your own losses and let massive firepower do the work. Collateral damage, especially if it occurs on the enemy side, is barely worth a mention.”

the SMO isn’t full-scale until russians who aren’t from majority poor rural oblasts start having to fight

the kamala revisionism in general is just so disheartening to witness, this is the exact same kopmala from 2020 and everybody that’s like not on this site is somehow unironically excited for her. not a burger so at the end of the day i can’t do shit about it either.
